I’m trying my best to give her a chance, but all I have ever seen her do is read words from a piece of paper, please watch her when she met with Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov as our foreign minister, 0 charisma! 0 sauce! Credit to her though for getting this far in the game, now I know even I can I run this country one day even though I am a full time wanker.
Haha you get my vote.
The last shall be first and the first shall be last?
You sound perfectly qualified.
Truss has all the personality & charisma of a coffin lid💀💀🤷♂️
Her knowledge of Geography is tenuous to say the least and that is the Foreign Secretary.I am slowly losing the will to live.
Fyi Sunak was best man at Forsyth's wedding. Just in case you think there may be any bias...not at all.
He has said that they are friends, repeatedly.
@@richardpentelow655 does he say it here?
No, but if you read the magazine or listen to some of the podcasts he says it fairly regularly.
@@richardpentelow655 that he was best man as well?
@@adamgrimsley2900 I do not remember, but probably not. The point being? Forsyth seems on the ball and perhaps he favours Sunak? Not to worried personally, should I be?
Brexit shadow over everything still . I feel the whole party is left damaged by their actions of both the former leader and mps . They look like a very poor B team
Jeff I agree .Brexit is not worth a candle because it has created chaos .
the real question is Andrew Neil a Journalist I actually respected has over the last 2 years , shown he is just the same as every other Journalist, no integrity or sincerity
It will be an easy go in world politics in truss is the PM. UK will be become a pawn. Remember world politics is a cruel place. She will making all sorts of wrong decisions
Brillo lost all credibility after his GB News career.
He's a past his sell by date, partisan gatekeeper. Such a great patriot that he lives in France. Completely wrong on lockdown. And tried to scupper GB News after he effed it up.
It doesn't matter who becomes PM. The money-grubbing clickbait MSM will have them demonized and kicked out of office.
it's just a game. theatre. to his own credit he wasn't born into it nor did mummy or daddy gives him several steps up unlike most of the other legacy media.
That’s good coming from you Andrew!
I KNOW ANDREW IS A DOUBLE STANDARD COMPULSIVE LIYING DICTATOR AND FIRST CLASS PIECE OF OVERRATED HYPOCRISY.
Truss is a capable junior minister, she's clearly not Cabinet material, let alone Prime Ministerial. Her likelihood of winning speaks volumes about the sheer lack of quality on Conservative benches.
I think you're right, but I was surprised that the so called big beasts like Javid and Hunt did so poorly!
The Conservatives are completely captured by international finance. They haven't conserved anything for the last 70 years
Well just think if it was a labour government now that would be a complete disaster wouldn't it
Where is the talent on the opposition side. They have even less talent.
The talent wasn't allowed to win.
Does Liz Truss know what she's talking about? No...
Next question, please.
It's terrifying that a woman who is an illiterate uni graduate who has never done an honest day's work can become PM of Great Britain and Nothern Island.
Illiterate?
@@eshaibraheem4218 absolutely
She seems a perfect fit.
Wonder what O'Biden thinks of Liz O'Leary?
You know you've misspelled Northern Ireland, don't you?
I've lost all trust in Andrew Neill since he huffed his way out of GB News.
His standing has certainly diminished since then.
Yea he is irrelevant now. He had a platform on gbnews now what.
@@mirarstudios GB news? Those Nasis? You're joking, no?
Andrew Neil is double face. He throws tantrums when things don't go his way. He can't be trusted
He didn't want to go down the direction that GB News was going with guys like Dan Wootton and Darren Grimes.
No she doesnt,never have,but it hasnt stopped her.She has great confidence in her inability and knowing there is no depth to her lack of knowledge.God help us.
Let's all believe in Sunak who's wasted billions over the last two years. He completely misjudged everything on the economy and now wants to force us into another 10 years of austerity to pay for his incompetence.
A man so naive he thought he could be Chancellor, making tax decisions, with a wife using non-dom status to avoid paying taxes. He's a clown, in £500 loafers instead of big red shoes.
She isn’t confident at all!
Truss is extraordinarily ignorant and out of touch with major issues and behaves like a cement mixer or a food blender!
Truss couldn't stop hiring private jets to go everywhere despite climate change issues.
Notwithstanding the deficit of 2 trillion GBP and a cost of living crisis Liz insisted in spending huge amounts of public money when doing her relatively minor trade deals to compensate for her lack of social grace and communication skills!!
But it's so amusing and great entertainment to see Andrew try to relaunch and reinvent himself.
And not succeeding......
Andrews is your classic gammon.
& a Brexit supporter..... who lives in France🤔
You can only reinvent yourself so many times, and Andrew's had all his goes.
@@purrdey quite
Truss will do and say anything that she thinks will advance her career in the Tory party. Just look at the complete U-turn she did over Brexit, solely because she could see which way the wind was blowing in the Tory party. She's a woman without convictions or principles and as such, an absolute shoe-in to become the next Tory prime minister!
She also utterly baffled new Zealand with her trade deals which allows them to wipe out uk farmers with cheap imports and would start simultaneous wars with both China and Russia
'... will do and say anything..' Does that not apply to all the candidates?
Or, she voted Remain and subsequently changed her mind? Like me?
U turn, just like Starmer now a bit of a brexiteer I believe...
not sure how trustworthy Mr Sunak is when looking at a picture where he was apparently filling up a "cheap" model car that wasn't even his.
Andrew Neil lost all credibility and his integrity when he threw his toys out the pram when GBNEWS went live.
I doubt if he would have felt comfortable pushing alt right propaganda & dodgy conspiracy theories about the WEF
In his defence they did hire the world's smallest private jet to ferry him to and from his home in the South of France. Unacceptable hardship meted out to poor Andrew.
GB "News" is a car crash
Anyone with any sense should throw their toys out with this lot. Compare to other news channels GBNEWS is the pits. Totally lacking in professionalism and ability!
And the worrying thing is she's potentially the new Tory leader, and even more worryingly, the country. And Richie is no better.
Makes no difference , all puppets reading from the same script, parliament is just theatre for the ignorant masses.
@@stepheneurosailor1623 True
Richie is better, he is intellectual. And in world politics that's an imp part.
@@dynamitebsb4520 Sunak would be a disaster for the economy
Rishi Fishy is worse.
Tax cuts just as we are heading into a sticky recession is unbelievably reckless and stupid in equal measure.
Just do not call it a recesssion.
And...he lives in France?!!!!!
How can this man be taken seriously after his GB news bail out?
He can't. Not by any self respecting actual conservative anyway. He pushed for mandatory vaccination, Covid passports and called the people who hadn't had the jab "refuseniks" who need to be punished
@@JPnielsen Where did he say any of this?
@@matthewphilip1977 Multiple tweets about it on his twitter and also he published an opinion piece in the DailyMail saying "it's time to punish vaccine refuseniks"
@@JPnielsen The vaccine refuseniks is fair enough though. Get the vaccine or stay indoors.
I balled out of watching GB News ages ago. Completely unprofessional and all other news channels do it better!
Yes, down to TAX , multi millionaires paying it ...like Rishi & his wife paying UK TAX (would be a start)...
Chancellors wife not paying UK TAX ..it is a bit more than poor ...deceitful...
I disagree. If one of our rich was living abroad but still chose to pay tax in the UK, you would hold them in high esteem. I believe we all would. Why then shouldn’t Sunak’s wife, an indian who makes her money in india, pay her tax in India, which is arguably in more need if those receipts?
The fact she pays UK tax on all money brought into country, which imagine is a sizeable chunk, is entirely reasonable, IMO.
@@benwaddington2186 - At last someone who is talking sense about the chancellor's wife! Thank you. It is really frustrating to read more than half the British population totally buying into the half-baked information that the British media is spurting out. His wife has not violated the tax rules. If any of these sad ignorant fools care to research what her background is and about her father's story, they would show more respect to her. Just because someone is having privileges and is from a rich background does not automatically mean that they are given special rights at the expense of the less fortunate in the country. If so why only attack her, why not attack Her Majesty, the Queen then? Her empire and predecessors have robbed half the planet of their wealth and owes all the colonies something in monetary terms.
@@benwaddington2186 It's not his wealth , it's Sunak's ethnicity which rancors Party members
@@mariogmajner6549 i don’t believe that for one minute, sorry. 1/ we are one of the most culturally diverse nations, and Indians have always, unlike certain other communities, more than pulled their fair share. They outperform native whites, i believe?
2/ the arrows were fired by media and left leaning sections. I did not hear many conservatives give him grief? Their situation was completely fair and above board, IMO, though the Green Card thing was problematic.
Ian you are mistaken the Chancellors wife pays U K Tax on her income arising in the UK .Why are people so ignorant about Income Tax?
Sorry can't listen to Andrew Neil anymore. His behaviour around GB News which I support was disgusting
he certainly blotted his copy book there. And then he went to work for Channel 4, abandoning all of his principles.
This is a classic case of Hobson's choice...you take what's available or nothing at all. I choose nothing...can we go
without a Prime Minister please? Even for a year or two. Nope, I guess we're stuck with this lot. The mere mention
of them makes my skin crawl...what a shambles. Come on people let's ask Boris back.
I can’t take Andrew seriously considering his reputation for trashing his employers at the first inconvenience he encounters with them.
eh? that's a disgusting approach not to want to expose the appalling misconduct of employers that don't know how to behave
this way the better ones gain a merited superior reputation
GB news is a joke. Don't actually have any journalists... Just a bunch of selective outrage pundits. Wootton and Farage LOL
Not all employers are alike.
There are very many unscrupulous employers who will happily turn a blind eye to your human rights and all other kinds of shenanigans.
Best way to deal with bullies is to expose them.
GBNEWS are trash
New Zealand was left utterly baffled by dizzy lizzy and her trade deals which allows them to wipe out uk farmers with cheap imports same as free marketeers in Chile, you never learn free markets run both ways
Read these words carefully, "Liz Truss, Prime Minster of the United Kingdom, First Lord of the Treasury" I shudder at the thought.
@Tunnocks teacake N Good question! No reply yet I see!
@Tunnocks teacake N I'm losing trust with politicians, of whatever party they are from. I've no one to vote for, whether that will change at the next GE, who knows.
@Tunnocks teacake N Thanks for the reply, you make some interesting points
No time for Andrew Neil anymore.
Strange title: Andrew Neil: Does Liz Truss know what she's talking about?
A:(without watching) NO!
This country is politically suffering from Alzheimer's politically
More like Mad Cow Disease.
Truss displays the type of knowledge and leadership skills, to make both Boris and Corbyn look like a Rhodes Scholars
The British people need to learn from the French. Don't pander to the useless Tories.
Andrew Neil - Can’t call out the Establishment corruption … He knows ..
Calm down dear
Would be nice to have s public vote for a PM
My thoughts exactly, especially as it's our income taxes that pays their salaries. They are in government to serve the people.
That would make the PM a President. NOT something that our system has.

Dear Andrew. GB News is doing very well thank you very much.

Sunak the WEF puppet is 10th rate
@Tunnocks teacake N yes 100% correct
That's generous, I would have said at least 5th rate!
Truss makes mince look clever.
Thanks
Being a Norwegian who has often been to the UK and love the place it is always a surprise to encounter the anti economical attitude in that part of the world. Conservatives believe in an outdated form of Capitalism that think tax cuts on income always makes the difference, and the left thinks that economics is just the devil telling people that businesses ought to make profits and the money you need can just be printed.
She proved that she knew nothing about the region of Russia where it borders the Ukraine in front of their foreign minister but she compounded the problem by not having a diplomatic listening mode and telling them to their face that their claims not to want to invade the Ukraine 'stretched credulity'...
I imagine their claim stretched the credulity of many of us.
I agree it seems that Liz Truss knows very little about the history of the Donbas region, the Nazi Azov battalion, the Minsk agreement or the part played in starting the war by the USA hawks.
Well she did secure a trade deal with Ukraine....that tied the UK to EU standards. Complete fookwit !
@@rickshaw2779 Correct. That makes her a dangerous, foolish person. There are no other policy cock-ups with such high stakes. She seems extremely naive.
@Tunnocks teacake N Very well put.
Now that is really worrying as it's what Johnson wants and we know what the tory party are capable of when it comes to intelligence
When you covering the Forde report?
More to the point, does Andrew Neil know what he’s talking about?
Probably more than these YT commenters.
No he's a classic bully who had us all fooled and then made the mistake of leaving his comfort zone and showing his real self, a coward.
@@shamteal8614 absolutely. He had me fooled. But he was just the mouthpiece with a whole team around him. And now he’s past it anyway.
Took the words right from my mouth.
Richest elite brainwashed the majority of the working class of voting for government who sell your system that is totally against the working class the majority of the media does not want to challenge this economic system as the richest elite benefit from the capalism system as they get very rich from the system. Any body who questions this system is attack by the media and press Barons media brainwashed the majority
I think she thinks she understands what she says. It's just we know she doesn't. It's like Winnie the Pooh's understanding of quantum physics.
😂😂
So now your a mind reader,are you!!?
You're falling for the lefty MSM narrative. They don't want Truss. That should be enough to make every conservative voter want her as leader.
Just fat check Liz Truss:s achievement's and successes,she is a hard worker and proved to be a safe pair of hands .Dan Wooten on GBNews calls him fishy Rishi !!! Donald Trump cut Taxes and the US began to thrive under him.
Winnie the Pooh doesn't need to understand Quantum physics, he's an expert in Hunny.
If Liz Truss appoints talented people to the right jobs she might be a success. Certainly, non economists like Rishi "Have some more cash, you'll pay for it later" Sunak, should be kept away from the Treasury. 2 years of bungled decisions have shown his limitations. Has he decided what a woman is yet?
If you'd have stuck with GB News Andrew I might've had a bit more time for you.

I used to have enormous respect for Andrew Neill. That was of course before he outed himself as a petty and opportunist individual who will sell his principles to the highest bidder, and who cant tolerate other opinions even in a News network he himself helped to found.
Now its just sad when he speaks and expects to be treated as a well informed and impartial journalist.
Took the words out of my mouth. He’s done.
We're all human-no-one really expeccted Neil to be a saint!
@@dianamincher6479 I expect him to hold to the principles he voices though. He railed against the left biased main stream media such as the BBC and Channel 4, only to then run to Channel 4 for a lucrative payout to present a programme that at his time of life he certainly did not need.
You mean he ran a fascist news station then backed off as they started inviting cross dressing dwarfs as political commentators?
@@jeremysmith8035 Who at GB news is a fascist?
A bit one-sided considering Forsyth is best buddies with Sunak and when the Winchester college together.

Andrew Neil seemed to have his 'wasp chewing' face on today! (Does he have new gnashers?)
Yes, I saw that and thought it too. But was far too polite to mention. ;)
@@martycrow I say, 'Throw caution to the wind!'
And just who is Andrew Neil these days? Not sure he’s any more reliable than the hapless politicians we have been saddled with for years.
Neil made a complete tit of himself with GB News. I'm surprised he's allowed on telly any more!
This is correct
Never heard of any of these people and after listening for a few minutes, I have no doubt I'll never hear of them again.
Interesting and nuanced debate - too short! Bit of a clickbait title though....
Do not need to watch to know the answer. No, no, not at all.
Will Andrew be allowed to interview the pair, I am not a supporter of blood sports, but for these two……..
I think those days are gone, days of tories going up against a heavyweight interviewer. Christ, Johnson was savaged by Susannah Reid of all people.
No respect for Andrew Neil now

Top Observation ! I shall have a difficult time not adopting it as my own. :)
But isn't the question really if she will listen to her advisors/cabinet?
Boris was doing fine until the Cummings Vs Carrie issue. May was okay until the issue with David davis.
Agree about Boris until Carrie but not about the atrocious May!
Theresa May, it very quickly became apparent, was never OK, indeed she proved to be the worst PM in a very long time, even worse than Gordon Brown, and that is saying something. I voted Leave in 2016, and have always liked and respected Rishi Sunak, and I was always a huge supporter of Boris Johnson, at least until very recent times when he does seem to have lost his way somewhat for reasons which one can only speculate about (I have my own views about that of course, just like many others). As a Conservative Party member I will have a vote in the run-off between Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss, who has performed pretty well over the past couple of years with trade agreements, but I also believe the recent negativity toward Rishi Sunak is much overdone. I would have welcomed one of the two finalists to have been Kemi Badenoch, for whom I have a great deal of time, or perhaps Suella Braverman, but hope that both will be under consideration, along with others as yet perhaps unclear, for future leadership elections. Anyway, we are where we are. My strong instinct is to vote for Rishi, but I haven’t yet entirely made up my mind and can imagine a vote for Liz not being entirely beyond the limits of my thinking. Always remember though that at the next GE in 2023 or 2024 the Conservatives will have been in government for 13/14 years and I definitely do not wish to see a Labour government then, or ever, so my decision on whom to vote for will be both shorter term on who is most likely to put in place effective, credible policies and more medium term strategic, who is most likely to avoid the disaster, as I see it, of a Labour or LabourLibDemSNP Government. As I’m also one of those relatively rare (unfortunately) Scottish Conservatives, and NOT a supporter of the current Leader of the ScotTories, I am perhaps more conflicted than most. I believe it was a huge mistake to depose Boris, but in life there are no rewinds, I’m trying to stay open minded between the two candidates for now - but my sentiments above are probably pretty clear.
@@BillCameronWC I agree may was awful and in an ideal world she wouldn't of become pm in the first place but when you remove Brexit from her premiership,what did she do? Nothing really as parliament didn't pass any major legislation for three years.
It was when may decided to go at Brexit alone and not consultant with David Davis on Brexit, which caused him to resign, saw the start of Mays downfall. Once Davis was gone, it was only a matter and a question of how much damage May does until she leaves. And the same happened with Boris once Cummings lost to Carrie, it was only a matter of time.
@Ceridwen look folks a walking talking bot
@@routeman680 Mrs May was appalling but her two advisers Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill were not. They had her on the right lines vis a vis Brexit until she went and threw away David Cameron's majority, whereupon she made them the scapegoats and brought in legions of remainiacs to advise her instead. Hence the resignation of first Mr Vara, and then Messrs Davis and Johnson, followed by 48 other ministers.

Same here, any party that apologises for following the globalist lockdown plan without question, will receive my vote. Currently that’s non of them, so a spoiled vote for me at the next GE at this rate.
It's debatable/unlikely whether it will be achieved but it's perfectly possibe to cut taxes without cutting spending if you grow the economy to the extent that total tax revenue is increased.
You could ask the treasury for another trillion in paper money but you can't grow anything without labour!

How can you cut taxes when we are so seriously in debt. When we have to dig ourselves out of covid debt and post issues. When we have 400 more illegal immigrants to cater to for every day. Not a Sunak follower, but...
I attended an audience panel on BBC News night a few years ago and 9/10 people , to the surprise of the presenter, were willing to pay more tax for better services. In the same way cutting tax today seems total madness. Oddly enough those comments by the public were only for the warm up discussion and were never Broadcast. I totally agree with your comment and when people stop the Jam Today mentality we might actually have a good economy and better services.
Does Andrew Neil know what he's talking about?!
Not really.
Is Neill in France? Enjoying his FoM.
What is needed is an increase in the production of goods and services, if a country has to survive a recession, which is presently lacking in the UK. The UK needs the same approach as America to have an insurance policy which foots the medical bills. In 2020/21 the Department for Health and Social Care had spent £192 billion. This money is used to fund a wide range of health and care services, including GP services, ambulance, mental health, and community and hospital services, which are commissioned by the NHS, and public health. This is unsustainable in the long run.
The American healthcare system is objectively the worst in the developed world. It's more expensive and many people in the US go without healthcare. Also using data from 2020/2021 is somewhat disingenuous considering that was when the Covid pandemic was at its peak, which obviously required a lot more spending than usual and there was all the corrpution/incompetence around the government's procurment of medical equipment which made the cost even higher. Remember £30 billion for test and trace?
@@Rb39-ej5hh I agree with you that the American health system is expensive and there is a reason for that. Have you heard about lobbying? The senate members are being bribed to make sure that the law they pass does not affect the drug manufacturers. What the senate members have to do is disclose the amount of money they have received in bribery. This puts into question: In whose interest the senate members are serving? It is the consumers or drug manufacturers? The answer is drug manufactures. I am told that American pharmacists can't import cheaper medicines from abroad. There are laws called patent and trademark which allow drug manufacturers to make billions. The whole Capitalist system is rotten to the core. Many countries were also unprepared for covid. Boris Johnson's government had spent £4 billion on PPE which was so useless it has to be burnt. Purchases included 817m items of PPE costing £673m which are defective and could not be used, donated or sold. Why this had happened and what action was taken against the culprits, the answer is nothing.
The UK finances are not in good shape, taxes may need to go up to pay for social care and the NHS, the lock down has blown the budget.
Actually Brexit cost to the U.K. make any lockdown costs insignificant!
When has-been Neil pontificates from France that Liz Truss doesn't know what she's talking about, I reckon she must be getting something right.

No and no one else does either. Awesome

Yesterday’s hustings in Cheltenham displayed how unsuited Liz Truss is for front line politics. She’s very uncomfortable and awkward being questioned, seems over sensitive to any criticism and relies on sound bites to deal with the social interaction aspect of these events. It looks very likely that she’ll be metaphorically torn to shreds at PMQs. I give her three months at the most before the backbenchers start talk of another leadership contest.
Lizzy would secure labour a landlines. Go Lizzy!!!!
I loved seeing Andrew lift up that bottle of Fanta to take a big long glug glug in front of the cameras - classy guy !🤣🤣
That's defamation and slander - it was Orangina that he took a hearty "long glug glug" .
Liz Truss is great because anyone who can defeat Starmer has my backing. Jobs are created by consumers who have money to spend.
ALL The Tory are blind about the ONLY CORRECT solution today, It is to give every citizen £2000 per month unconditionally in perpetuity and then increase the taxes on the wealthy. Feeding free money to the humans must always be accompanied by increasing the taxes on the Wealthy. * Give the same amount of money to everyone on the wealth pyramid and then, to stop the price increase, tax more the top of the Wealth Pyramid and give it back evenly to everyone again and again !!!!! Taxes above 100% become acceptable.
Q: How much money to feed to every citizen per month, £2000, £5000, £10000?
A: Whatever is necessary for a DIGNIFIED EXISTENCE.
Q: What is "dignified Existence"?
A: Whatever the most common human spending on the free market say it is, plus, the most common taxes, fees and penalties imposed on the citizens. The current government must NOT have ANY involvement in deciding the amount necessary for the "dignified existence" of the average citizen. Only statistical analysis of common spending and common taxes among the citizens can define "dignified existence" objectively.
Q: What would stop the wealthy from leaving the country while still extracting profits from our markets?
A: We must have laws for strict border control of Wealth leaving the country and people entering the country. Profits must stay in the country by law. The law must state that if you leave the country you lose free access to our markets as well.
Q: Why would anyone go to work if they are getting free money for dignified existence?
A: You will be working because you want to prosper rather than just exist with dignity. If everybody is getting free money every month then those who want a slice of that free money would have to offer something in return by competing with each other. It should be like a football game, there are the players that compete and there are the spectators who just watch the game and cheer. If you want to compete and prosper then you step on the field and you play the game of competition knowing that if you loose you could always go back being just a spectator. There is no need to force anybody to step on the field just to survive, people should do it because they want to prosper. The society will prosper because the spectators will be rewarding the competing players with the free money.
Q: I know I will work even if I am getting 2k+ of free money every month but I have no doubt millions of others will not work at all?
A: Sufficient free money to ensure a dignified existence for every citizen will re-adjust the pay structure on the jobs market and will result in the inevitable people's return to work. For example, jobs considered to be menial, like taking out the trash, or working the production line, etc, would have to pay much more if they need to get done while other jobs would pay much less than what they pay now. Getting free 2k+ per month would give the citizens a fair negotiating power on the job market ... and it is an opportunity to safely start own businesses for anyone who wants to prosper beyond basic dignified existence.
It does not matter what is private or public if the citizens have enough money to afford paying for it either trough the free market mechanism (when the "it" is privately owned) or through the taxation mechanism (when the "it" is publicly owned).
Liz is cutting corporation tax by 9% together with 99% off duty on petrol and 75% off VAT.

It shows his contempt for us.
There is currently a strange concept of democracy. Democracy should mean debate, then voting/choosing and then the majority choice is accepted. At this point everyone supports the majority choice.
The SNP is a classic example of this strange concept of democracy when they state that they have a democratic right to overthrow the choice of the majority.
Liz Truss voted remain, leave won and now she supports the majority choice of leave. This is the spirit of democratic choice.
Democracy isn't a one-time event Democracy did not end in Scotland in 2014.
2019 general election in Scotland
Scottish people voted in
SNP 48 MPs up 13 MPs
Tories 6MPs down 7 MPs
Liberal 4 MPs
Labour 1 MP down 6 MPs
SNP had Indyref2 in manifesto
In the 2021 Scottish parliament election proportional voting system Scottish people voted in 72 MSPs a majority of the Scottish parliament who had Indyref2 in their election manifestos.
The SNP have won the last 11 elections in Scotland.
The Scottish government has a mandate from the Scottish people to hold the Indyref2 vote.
@@martindornan1667 That illustrates the "new democracy". If the majority doesn't choose your option then instead of working with the majority choice, immediately endeavour to fine a different majority.
@@martindornan1667 In the case of Scotland, democracy is a once in a generation vote. in the case of Brexit democracy is a once in a lifetime vote. These were the terms stated publicly and agreed to by the SNP in those two votes, and suddenly when the vote went the other way, they (and you) want to waffle on that democracy is vote and vote and vote again.
One presumes once you get the answer YOU want, the voting will stop. Forever.
@@lesigh1749
Boris Johnson said that he would "rather be dead in a ditch" before he extended Brexit and amazingly he is still alive.
Jeremy Corbyn talking about the 2019 Westminster general election said that December's election was a "once in a generation" election.
Boris Johnson talking about the same 2019 Westminster general election issued a plea to voters to back the conservative party in a "critical once in a generation election" in December.
Are you stupidly saying that because some politicians use some words the next general election is cancelled.
The hyperbolic rhetoric used by Alex Salmond in the Andrew Marr interview he said "in my opinion and just my opinion" he also said"once in a lifetime opportunity".
In a democracy no politician can tie the hands of future voters in elections and the government that the people vote for.
@@martindornan1667 No, but BOTH referendums on the EU membership and on Scottish independence were agreed by all sides to be once in a lifetime and once in a generation votes going in. Those were extraordinary ballots that are not routine, and the rules for their frequency were fully set out by the governments that arranged those votes and explained at the time and well before the vote. There would be NO further votes on those matters. This was it. one chance to have a say and its a closed matter from then on. This was agreed to and repeated by all sides in both votes, not least as a means to energise their voters to actually turn up and vote.
General elections are routine and happen every five years if not sooner, and there is no change to hat merely from the rhetoric of politicians in any given GE.
I'm pretty sure you are aware of this distinction between routine General elections and extraordinary one off referenda. If anyone is speaking stupidly, it would appear to be you.
Yes she does Andrew do you know what your talking about maybe it's time for you to retire altogether.
When she was at the Foreign Office she didn't seem to be well advised on countries and those countries major issues.
A tip meant with love to make these videos more appealing - the two on the bottom could be given some better support to look more tidy and cheerful when not speaking.
That’s very deep 🤔
O for goodness sakes!
She looks completely vacant.
Just listen don't glue your eyeballs to the screen lol
Not really, she'll bend to any political agenda or master to progress her career.
Whereas the rest won’t and don’t? 🤔
Unlike the snake you mean!
@@paulrickett4402 who is the snake?
@@serenityinside1 did I say they wouldn't. But I think Truss lacks any real political colours
@@adamgrimsley2900 sunak, thought that was obvious.
Blessed are the cheesemakers
Minister Liz Truss seemed unsure when asked how many of 200,000 starter homes pledged by the Conservatives in 2014 had been built. It's easy to remember, states Andrew Neil. It's 'Zero'.
We will all regret what the media and friends of Boris (ugh) have done to the political centre if this country. The loss if Boris Johnson will be felt for years to come, why not give Boris the vote too.
They just took the tyre swing out of the back garden of number 10 we dont need that baffoon back in
Johnson is a warmongering buffoon and bully. He brought the UK into recession.
@@paulcrossley9812 Killer!
6:50 I'm surprised (and disappointed) that Andrew Neil has not heard of Laffer Curve and appears to have no concept that tax revenue is a _dynamic_ thing, in that it's not necessary to raise other tax rates if you lower some tax rates: the overall tax revenue _can_ increase even if you _don't_ raise tax rates "to pay for tax reductions in other areas".
Oh Katy, Katy....I used to think you were bright. Both these candidates are poison. Poor old Britain.
Are politicians supposed to know what they're doing ?? 🤔
Don't they have specialised departments that advise them?
@@dareks8000 ..Got the impression that they just tossed a coin ... Or consulted mystic Meg 🤔
Pause the video at any point during its 20 odd minute length and take a good look at the expressions on any one of their faces. Basically tells you all you need to know about the Spectator
yup a bunch of cu--s
Neil must have either become anti-Tory or is losing his mind.. Of course Liz Truss knows what she's talking about.
Then why is she so inconsistent? She is one of the most ill informed grifters ever to have disgraced politics.
She has failed in every department she's ever wafted through. If she's so well informed, why has she never found a position that she wasn't willing to abandon the moment the wind changed?
@@LudvigIndestrucable She has been popular at the foreign office, and has delivered on dozens of trade deals post Brexit. hardly a failure there.
@@lesigh1749 Ah yes, the fantastic trade deal with NZ and Oz that allows tariff free meat from them with nothing meaningful in return that she has been roundly criticised for due to it being so unfair to the UK.
Sorry, I didn't realise we were chalking up successes for other countries being in her favour.
Totally agree with Andrew, Liz is well meaning but not quite with the financial implication of ir-responsible borrowing & leaving a debt for the generations to follow.we desperately need Rishi.
Professor Patrick Minford disagrees and he was the one who backed Thatchers cuts which saved the economy. The IMF and Neil are politically biased
Tej fek du Andrew Neil is the best of best always does his homework top top man.Thank you Andrew for the Daily Politics and This Week sadly all in the past but great while it lasted.
